Unpacking SPCX's Record IPO Through Alt Data

My friends at Similarweb have released their latest report on $SPCX ( ▼ 3.41% ) . In it, you’ll find analysis on:

• How the unit driving roughly two-thirds of revenue is actually performing on demand, conversion, and installs

• Why the pending $60B Cursor deal looks different once you separate web traffic from real usage

• Where the market’s attention diverged from the operating data in the two weeks after the IPO

• The signals we’d watch next quarter, each of which moves before it hits a filing
